Watches display molten truth over barren time. Things are.
Time is. But what is Time busy being? How do we relate to it? What tools bolster our relationship, and how many ways can we experience it? How do our tools relate to it? Lots of fun questions, which I want to take apart. Right now I have about 18 minutes to begin dissection, so I will start with these questions immediate relation to me and you. This format of artificial memory. This dialation of time into a mentally constructed moment and reference mark. The idea of the journal. Mark 1. Here it is, my ideas as wrapped in this moment, represented in words, either honestly or not. In either respect an external cue to reference back my current state. This is a memory written in electrical format. It is a false construct of now. Especially false, because now, this now is your now. So my memory is broadcast out. You are reading it, experiencing it in your time, these words get caught up into your memory. They become a reference point for your state of being. Mark 2. My state of being becomes your present representation for me, despite the fact I have ventured forward. Time delay. Now I am getting a drink of water, because I am thirsty. Now that is done. In fact, not only did I get a drink during that period and two spaces, but I had a phone call, which I participated in.
I was thirsty, and you considered me as thirsty. Now given my general state of being, you are probably correct in thinking of me as thirsty right now, whenever that may be. So past references do not necessarily lose current veracity. I believe that life has many cyclical experiences which are apt for expression in the journal format. Emotion being one of the primary forms of cyclical expression often expressed in journals, even though the emotion is bound to have turned over some between loggings. However, remark on it allows us to note hard times, and to see when we have moved through them, and hopefully, eventually past them.
